    I don't know that I've ever tried it.  I go through
Control Panel->Printers->Add Printer, and browse the Network
Neighborhood to find the Samba server sharing the printer, and select
the printer that way.

    Here are the relevant portions of my smb.conf:

[global]
; some stuff elided, like remote announce and remote browse sync
   load printers = yes
   printing = cups
   printcap name = cups
; some more stuff elided, like socket options, log params, and interface lists
;  Authentication scheme
  security = share
  encrypt passwords = yes

[printers]
  comment = All printers
  guest ok = yes
  printable = yes

Note that the host in question is set up to be both the local and preferred
master in my domain, if that makes any difference.
